Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1972, is well-maintained and appears clean, but the interior finishes are significantly dated. The kitchen features original or very old light wood cabinets, dark laminate countertops, white coil-burner electric range, and dated vinyl/linoleum flooring. The bathroom also shows signs of being outdated with basic fixtures. Carpeting and popcorn ceilings throughout the living areas further contribute to an older aesthetic. While functional and livable, the property requires substantial cosmetic updates, particularly in the kitchen and bathroom, to meet current quality and style standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Beachfront Access: The property offers direct, ground-level access to the sand from its deck, providing an unparalleled coastal living experience within a desirable beachside retreat.
Strong Investment Potential: This unit is approved for use as a vacation rental without requiring additional permits, significantly enhancing its income-generating potential and flexibility for owners.
Exclusive Gated Community: Located within the secure and prestigious Pajaro Dunes gated community, offering enhanced privacy, safety, and access to community amenities.
Scenic Coastal Views & Ambiance: Features floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the dunes and a covered patio providing privacy and ocean breezes, creating a serene coastal atmosphere.
Recent Price Adjustment: A notable price reduction from $900,000 to $790,000 indicates increased value and potential opportunity for a motivated buyer.
Cons
Substantial Association Fees: The association fee of $4255.0 is notably high, which could significantly impact the overall cost of ownership and potential investment returns.
Limited Living Space: As a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom unit with 741 sqft, the property offers restricted living space, potentially limiting its appeal to a broader market or larger households.
Age of Property: Built in 1972, the property is over 50 years old, which may suggest a need for updates to systems, appliances, or aesthetics to meet modern standards and avoid deferred maintenance.
